Syntax notes

  1. GIMZIP ignores columns 73 through 80. If data is specified beyond column 72, GIMZIP ignores it, which may lead to the diagnosis of an error in a following tag.
  2. Package control tags may contain comments. Comments start with <!-- (hex 4C5A6060) and end with --> (hex 60606E). The first --> encountered after the initial <!-- will end the comment. A comment may appear between a start-tag and its matching end-tag, but never within a tag.
